Really nice!! Congrats on getting it all to come together with a bow.

Whole new meaning to "four on the floor"

My target archery friend who has never hunted before , decided he wanted to try for an OTC deer in august 2020. I took him to a few waterholes I knew and I helped him with the basics. He sat a tank for days and never saw one deer, so I sat him at another tank and he had a large 4x4 mulie come in, but it never provided a shot he felt would be fatal so he had to watch it walk away. About an hour later, a lone Coues buck (that he described as huge) came in and stood broadside at less than 30 yards. He clinked his arrow against the bow while drawing and it took off, leaving him with just the experience. He was pretty stoked and has been ready for another go. I couldn't go this past week, but he found his own spot with a nice tank that wasn't dry and he got his blind set up on Dec. 31st. At about 9:30 am on Jan 1st, 4 does and 3 bucks came in to his tank. He not only got the big one of the group, but he had mounted a camera to his bow and captured the shot. (He didn't tell me he had video till later-the sandbagger!!!) I am pretty sure he's going to be chomping at the bit to go again. I'll try to get a few better pics posted later. trimmed-GH010049.mov

It's a bow. With the mesh in place it sounds pretty loud, but you can see the arrow. He was using fixed blades. It was a 25 yard shot and he double lunged him. He said it went about 60 to 70 yards and dropped. If he hadn't had the mesh in place, that doe would have identified him for sure. There was a little snow in patches in the general area but I'm not sure about the ice. Everything came together just right for him.

Yes you can.

Awesome!!! Way to get it done, love big forkies.

I've seen a coues buck and a mulie buck come to water together and leave together like they were buddies. Both were pretty young forkys.

I know you got pretty frustrated but way to keep at it and get it done for your dad Two thumbs up!

In my best Ted Baxter voice "Wellll, we're waiting!!!"

Nice bucks guys! Congrats and I'd be smiling like that too with either one of these.

Two months

I heard a bird in the neighbors tree the other morning and am not sure what it was , so I took a quick video IMG_2200.MOV . It was on the same perch I have seen an owl and another time a hawk. I saw it fly away, but it was still too dark to tell what it was. It was as big as the owl and hawk, but it flew the other way. Listen at the 5, 26, and 40 second mark and let me know if you have heard it before. And no, this is not a prank.

Thanks for the replies all. It sounds like the Cooper Hawk is the closest call to this. That would make sense since there has been a hawk perched there before

Ouch!

Okay, I could have done a better job of presenting my point and that is that the average person, that doesn't have underlying conditions like heart disease, diabetes, obesity, etc, is not dying from covid. I feel more at risk of a car wreck than dying from covid. Next time I'll try not to state my feelings and opinions as facts.

The odds of an average person dying in a car accident today are higher than dying from covid.

Very nice!! Sounds like a great spot to crawl around in with the bow in Jan. Bet it wont be your last.

How about a pic of your November 110 buck??

I cooked up a little backstrap myself last night from a little forky meat buck I shot this year. Yum Yum

If there are enough days left in the hunt, sounds like you need to take a day or two off and recharge the batteries. Hit a few t*tty bars and get your attitude refreshed. Is Petes Place still open???

Great news, thanks for the update.
